The Apex Liviau R is a single-unit solution for control of AV presentations in meeting rooms, boardrooms, lecture theatres – or any location where a group of people need to participate in activities that are based around video and/or audio programme originating from a variety of different sources. Liviau R combines the functions of an audio/video switcher, a file server, an internet browser, a Wi-Fi hub, a lighting controller, a stereo power amplifier and an audio recorder in a single, compact and elegant unit. The user interface is a 10.1” multi-touch screen, which displays a series of simple, icon-based pages. Each of these is deliberately designed to offer only the options required at any one time. The touchscreen display may be mirrored to other portable devices using the onboard Ethernet port or Wi-Fi connection,

allowing the system to be controlled from elsewhere in the room. Liviau R connects to a projector or flat screen display using HDMI, with control of the display device being via either RS-232 or infra-red. If the presentation programme is a computer file, it may be sourced from a file stored in Liviau itself, or from elsewhere in the organisation via a standard Ethernet network connection, from a USB memory device or wirelessly from another device - e.g., a laptop, tablet, iPhone® or other smartphone, using Airplay, Miracast or Chromecast. An external source of HDMI video (and audio) such as a DVD player or DVR may alternatively be selected. Providing the network connection is Internet enabled, web pages may also be accessed and displayed, using Liviau R’s internal browser.
PRELIMINARY DATASHEET Liviau R’s audio performance is exemplary: the unit provides six balanced analogue inputs (two mic, four line), six balanced analogue audio outputs, a fully assignable audio mixing matrix and a high quality 50 W/channel stereo power amplifier. A 4-band parametric equaliser is included on every input and output, and additionally, each output has a limiter and crossover facility, thus permitting the use of high quality bi-amped loudspeakers. Master control of volume is always available with a virtual fader on all screen pages. Using Bluetooth, audio may also be sourced from other compatible portable devices elsewhere in the room. Liviau R also has an integral 48 kHz/24-bit digital audio recorder, which can be used to record the proceedings of meetings (approx. 500 hours capacity) or other programme material, either internally or on a USB memory device. In addition to the RS-232 and infra-red outputs, an industry-standard DMX 512 port is fitted, permitting the unit to interface directly to many common lighting control systems. A dedicated page is included on the touchscreen which allows control of individual lighting groups, colour definition and recall of preset lighting scenes. Master control of lighting level is always available with a virtual fader on all screen pages. There are also four GPOs, two GPIs and two GP ports that may be defined at installation as either inputs or outputs. These may be used to control other room functions, such as blinds, projector lift, projection screen, etc. The touchscreen pages include a number of additional “soft” keys, whose precise function can be defined at installation. Possibilities include automatic generation of emails, access to a room scheduler with Gmail integration and communication with reception or other parts of the organisation. Liviau R can be installed as a free-standing unit, integrated into furniture or wall-mounted. It is built in a very stylish, custom aluminium enclosure, and includes an ambient light sensor to adjust screen brightness and a proximity sensor to wake the system. Liviau R is silent in operation (no fans) and is powered by a separate external 24 V PSU (supplied).
